EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The U.S. Army Contracting Command - New Jersey, located at Fort Dix, NJ on behalf of the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) Corporate

Business Office (CBO), is soliciting proposals for the Program and Systems Support - Small Business (PASS-SB) services.

This solicitation will utilize 100% small business set-aside to award approximately ten (10), five (5) year Indefinite

Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Multiple Award Contract (MACs). The total maximum dollar value (Program Ceiling) for all Task Orders placed under these contracts is $499,267,406.45. The guaranteed minimum dollar value for the entire contract period of performance for each awardee is $2,000.00. Because this is an IDIQ contract, every awardee must be capable of performing all aspects of the PWS. It is the Government's intent to award Task Order 0001 to each awardee at the execution of the basic contract award. All individual performance periods/delivery schedules for the services to be procured will be specified in each Task Order. For proposal preparation purposes, the expected or approximate date for initiation of contract performance is 23 September 2016.

The Government will make the awards utilizing the Best Value Trade-off approach. This approach allows award to the offerors whose proposal is the most advantageous to the Government when considering evaluation factors in addition to price. These evaluation factors will include Technical, Past Performance, and Price. For more information regarding proposal submission or the source selection evaluation factors, see the INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS AND NOTICES TO OFFERORS (Section L) and the EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD sections of this solicitations (Section M).

PASS-SB support services will be required throughout the Continental United States (CONUS) and outside the Continental United States

(OCONUS). Foreign Military Sales (FMS) services are also required.

It is anticipated that there may be requirements for access to classified information by Contractors under the PASS-SB MACs. The highest security levels that may be required by the Contractor to perform on individual TOs under this contract are up to a TOP SECRET

Facility/Personnel Clearance with a SECRET safeguarding capability. These security requirements will not be a condition for basic contract award. However, any offerors that do not have the required security clearances in place by 6 months after the award of the basic contract, risk being "off-ramped" from the PASS-SB IDIQ MAC.

Disclaimer: This Executive Summary has been prepared as an aid to the potential offerors. We have made every attempt to accurately reflect the requirements/information contained in the solicitation. However, if you find any discrepancies between the Executive

Summary and the clauses/provisions contained in the solicitation/contract, the clauses/provisions contained in the solicitation/contract shall prevail. Please notify the Contracting Office Point of Contact (POC) identified in Block 10 of the SF 33 if any discrepancies are found.

(iv) Volume IV COST/PRICE FACTOR ____________________________

(1) This instruction is used to assist the offeror in developing and documenting adequate support for the costs and overall price included in the proposals. The instruction is not intended to be all-inclusive. The responsibility for providing cost and price documentation rests with the offeror. The offerors proposal shall contain sufficient cost documentation for analysis and evaluation of the offerors proposal in accordance with FAR 15.403-5(b)(2) and 15.404.

(2) The offeror shall not propose pricing on the CLINs in Section B. These contract line items are established to enable the placement of future orders. Fully loaded labor rates and indirect rates applicable to material, other direct costs and travel in the Excel spreadsheets (Attachments 0001 & 0002) will be incorporated in the resultant contracts for future orders.

(3) The charts referenced in the Excel spreadsheet Attachments 0001 must be completed for all categories of labor for all five (5) ordering periods. The total proposed hours per labor category shall be equal to the total government estimated hours listed for each labor category.

(4) Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Labor (Attachment 0001): For the FFP rates, each offeror shall submit one CONUS

Government-site fully loaded FFP labor rate, one CONUS Contractor-site fully loaded FFP labor rate for each category of labor, for each of the five (5) ordering periods. These fully loaded labor rates shall be inclusive of wages, applicable indirect expenses and profit.

The FFP rates under the basic contract are on a Not-To-Exceed basis. Offerors will have the opportunity to propose lower fully loaded

FFP labor rates for competitive orders but shall not exceed what is incorporated via attachment to the basic contract. It is anticipated that the offerors proposed Government-site fully loaded labor rates will be lower than the Contractor-site rates since the government is providing office space, equipment, utility services, etc. Offerors may not deviate from categories listed in the Excel spreadsheet

(Attachment 0001).

(5) Material, Other Direct Costs and Travel (Cost Reimbursable/no fee): Material, Other Direct Costs and Travel will be reimbursed on a cost, no fee basis. Offerors shall propose CR/no fee indirect rates applicable to material, other direct costs and travel in Attachment 0002. Offerors shall fill in their company name in the appropriate cell highlighted in yellow on each worksheet.

Offerors shall complete applicable cells highlighted in yellow on each Ordering Period worksheet with the appropriate element of cost, indirect rate base descriptions, percentages and amounts or formulas in the "Total" column. Do not change the government-provided material, ODC or travel costs. If needed, offerors can insert additional rows for applicable indirect expenses. Material, ODCs and

Travel are reimbursed at cost. Indirect rates applicable to Material, ODCs and Travel are also reimbursed at cost and shall be incorporated into any resultant contract. No profit/fee shall be proposed. Only the offeror shall propose Cost Reimbursable/no fee indirect rates/indirect expenses for Material, ODCs and Travel. Material, ODCs and Travel shall not be allocated to subcontractors and/or affiliates.

(5.1) The offeror shall identify the basis for the proposed indirect rates applicable to Material, Other Direct Costs and travel (i.e. Forward Pricing Rate Agreement (FPRA), Forward Pricing Rate Proposal submission, Approved Provisional Billing Rates, budgetary rates, etc.) and provide documentation supporting their proposed indirect rates. The offerors shall provide their current

(within the last twelve months) Forward Pricing Rate Agreement or Forward Pricing Rate Proposal submission for indirect rates, and/or

Provisional Billing Rates approval letter for current-year indirect rates. For out-year rates and/or rates based on budgetary data or if none of the listed DCAA/DCMA documents are available, in order to perform a cost realism analysis, the offeror shall provide details on formulation of indirect rates (including pool of expenses and allocation bases and forecasted data) as well as actual indirect rates for the last two completed financial years. If the offerors rates are weighted or blended from year to year, the offeror shall provide a detailed breakout which demonstrates how the weighted or blended indirect rates are calculated.

(6) Sample Task (FFP): As part of the overall proposal submission, all offerors are required to submit a sample task proposal utilizing Attachment 0003. The period of performance for the Sample Task is 30 months. The sample task will represent the offerors mix of labor categories and hours, and will be used in the total evaluated price evaluation. The Sample Task is listed in

Section J as an attachment to the solicitation. NOTE: The labor categories and hours proposed must be limited ONLY to those which are necessary to complete the sample task. THIS IS A SEPARATE, STAND-ALONE SUBMISSION FROM THE LABOR CATEGORIES AND RATES PROPOSED WITHIN

8 14

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

ATTACHMENT 0001.

(6.1) Proposed Labor Categories/Hours. The sample task proposal MUST utilize labor categories and fully _______________________________ loaded FFP labor rates (Contractor Site) that are included with the offerors base labor rate proposal in Attachment 0001. It is up to each offeror to determine which labor categories proposed in Attachment 0001 will be needed to fulfill the sample task requirement.

Each Offeror must independently determine the most efficient mix of labor categories and labor hours necessary to successfully complete the sample task. The sample task proposal must utilize the same LOADED labor rates that are included with the offerors proposal in

Attachment 0001. The hours proposed in Attachment 0003 and Attachment 0007 shall be the same. If a discrepancy is noted when comparing

Attachment 0003 and 0007, the Government will utilize the higher of the two when computing the total evaluated price.

(7) Accounting System.

(7.1) Since this acquisition includes cost-reimbursable effort, pursuant to FAR 16.301-3(a)(3), the contractors accounting system must be deemed adequate for determining costs applicable to the contract/orders. Provide documentation from DCAA supporting the determination that the offerors accounting system has been deemed adequate.

A. BASIS FOR AWARD (Section M)

The award will be made on the best overall (i.e., best value) proposal that is determined to be the most beneficial to the Government, with appropriate consideration given to the three (3) evaluation factors: (1) Technical; (2) Past Performance and (3) Cost/Price. The factors are listed in descending order of importance. The Technical Factor is slightly more important than the Past Performance Factor.

The Past Performance Factor is significantly more important than the Cost/Price Factor. All non-Price Factors, when combined, are significantly more important than the Cost/Price Factor. Offerors will be cautioned that the award may not necessarily be made to the lowest price/cost offered. The Government may award a contract without discussions, but the Government may hold discussions (except for clarification as described in FAR 15.306(a)), as permitted by FAR 15.306(a)(3) and FAR 52.215-1. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions to permit Offerors to revise their proposals.

B. FACTORS AND SUB-FACTORS TO BE EVALUATED

The following evaluation factors and subfactors will be used to evaluate each proposal: Award will be made to the offeror whose proposal is most advantageous to the Government based upon an integrated assessment of the evaluation factors and subfactors described below.

Factor 1: Technical Factor: The Technical Factor is further divided in to the following subfactors: The Sample Task Subfactor is more important than the Management Subfactor.

a) Subfactor 1: Sample Task Subfactor.

b) Subfactor 2: Management Subfactor.

Factor 2: Past Performance.

Factor 3: Cost/Price.

C. EVALUATION APPROACH

All responsive proposals shall be subject to evaluation by the Source Selection Team (SST).

1. The overarching evaluation approach for all technical factors and subfactors is as follows:

a. Adequacy of Response. The proposal will be evaluated to determine whether the offerors methods and approach_____________________ have adequately and completely considered, defined and satisfied the requirements specified in the RFP. The proposal will be evaluated to determine the extent to which each requirement has been addressed in the proposal in accordance with the proposal submission section of the RFP.

b. Feasibility of Approach. The proposal will be evaluated to determine the extent to which the proposed________________________ approach is workable and the end results achievable. The proposal will be evaluated to determine the extent to which successful performance is contingent upon proven tools and techniques. The proposal will be evaluated to determine the extent to which the offeror is expected to be able to successfully perform and complete the proposed tasks and technical requirements within the required schedule.

2. The Technical Factor is divided into the following subfactors:

Subfactor 1: This subfactor evaluates the offerors proposed Sample Task response. The evaluation will focus on the offerors detailed and thorough approach to meet desired outcomes including these key areas and how they specifically relate to the Sample Task:

-Overall Logistics Approach

-Business Analytics Process

-Information Technologies Methodologies

-Program Management Concepts including the Integrated Master Schedule (IMS), Scheduling Constraints, and Risk Management Principles

-The staffing resources proposed to support the Sample Task.

Subfactor 2: This subfactor evaluates the Prime Offerors and its 3 Major Subcontractors Management Plan. Major subcontractors are defined as the three (3) subcontractors who will be providing the highest percentage of the total proposed price. The evaluation will

The Technical Factor Ratings, excerpted below focus on the strengths, deficiencies, weaknesses, risks and uncertainties of the offeror's proposal. The color rating depicts how well the offerors proposal meets the Technical subfactor requirements. The compilation of these Subfactor adjectival ratings will form the basis of the factor rating.

TABLE 1 COMBINED TECHNICAL/RISK RATINGS

Color Rating Description

Blue Outstanding Proposal meets requirements and indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths far outweigh any weaknesses.

Risk of unsuccessful performance is very low.

Purple Good Proposal meets requirements and indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements. Proposal contains strengths which outweigh any weaknesses.

Risk of unsuccessful performance is low.

Green Acceptable Proposal meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths and weaknesses are offsetting or will have little or no impact on contract performance. Risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate.

Yellow Marginal Proposal does not clearly meet requirements and has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. The proposal has one or more weaknesses which are not offset by strengths. Risk of unsuccessful performance is high.

Red Unacceptable Proposal does not meet requirements and contains one or more deficiencies.

Proposal is unawardable.

The following definitions will also be used in the evaluation process:

a. Deficiency - A material failure of a proposal to meet a Government requirement or a combination of significant weaknesses in a proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance to an unacceptable level.

b. Significant Weakness - A flaw that appreciably increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance.

c. Weakness - A flaw in the proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance.

d. Strength - An aspect of an Offerors proposal that has merit or exceeds specified performance or capability requirements in a way that will be advantageous to the Government during contract performance.

e. Significant Strength - An aspect of an Offeror's proposal that has appreciable merit or appreciably exceeds specified performance or capability requirements in a way that will be appreciably advantageous to the Government during contract performance.

f. Adverse Past Performance Information - Any unfavorable past performance information to which the offeror has not previously had an opportunity to respond.

3. Past Performance Factor. The Government will evaluate the offerors record of past and current performance to ascertain the probability of successfully performing the required efforts of the PWS CONUS and OCONUS.

a. Evaluation of past performance shall be in accordance with this plan utilizing the forms and questionnaires set forth in Section J, Attachment 0011.

b. The Government will focus its inquiries on the offerors (and major subcontractors) record of performance as it relates to all solicitation requirements, including cost, schedule, performance and management of subcontractors. Major subcontractors are defined as the top three (3) subcontractors who will be providing the highest percentage of the total proposed price. A significant achievement, problem, or lack of relevant data in any element of the work can become an important consideration in the evaluation process. Therefore, offerors will be reminded to include the most recent and relevant efforts (within the past three years) in their proposal. Absent any recent and relevant past performance history or when the performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror will be assigned an unknown confidence rating and its proposal will not be evaluated either favorably or unfavorably on past performance. The Government may use data provided by the offeror in its proposal and data obtained from other sources, including data in Government files or data obtained through interviews with personnel familiar with the contractor and their current and past performance under Federal or State government contracts, CONUS and OCONUS for same or similar services as compared to services/efforts that are the same as or similar to the effort required by the RFP. Data used in conducting performance risk assessments shall not extend past three years prior to the issue date of the RFP, but may include performance data generated during the past three years without regard to the contract award date. The Government will not consider experience of subordinate or affiliated offices of the Offeror, unless the Offeror clearly details the proposed involvement of the Offeror's subordinate or affiliated offices in this requirement.

c. Offerors shall submit no more than three (3) Prime Federal or State Government contracts, CONUS and OCONUS, for the prime offeror and no more than two (2) contracts for each major subcontractor in performance or awarded during the past three (3) years, from the issue date of the RFP, which are relevant to the efforts required by the RFP. The Government may consider a wide array of information from a variety of sources, but is not compelled to rely on all of the information available.

d. The past performance factor considers each offerors demonstrated recent and relevant record of performance in supplying services and/or products that meet the contract requirements CONUS and OCONUS. There are two aspects to the past performance evaluation:

relevancy and performance confidence assessment.

(i) RELEVANCY: The first aspect of the past performance evaluation is to assess the offerors past performance to____________ determine how relevant a recent effort accomplished by the offeror is to the effort to be acquired through the source selection.

Relevancy is not separately rated; however, the following criteria will be used to establish what is relevant which shall include similarity of Federal or State government contracts, CONUS and OCONUS service/support, complexity, total contract value, total obligated amount, total percent of contract obligated amount actually performed by the offerors employees, contract…
